So we had a high point with What's Going On? and now a pretty low point with this one. Nothing much to save on this record, it's dull and writing a WHOLE DAMN album on this subject?! If You Think You Lonely Now from Womack was already too much and painful to listen to, a whole album is yet another story.
Romantic meal, candles lit, now for some music. Whatever you do, don’t put this album on. It starts with a song about a child custody battle and goes on to anger, jealousy, self pity and the unfairness of paying attorney fees. After a bitter divorce, Gaye was contractually obliged to produce an album and give his ex 50% - he delivered this, which takes petty revenge to a whole new level. Save this for if you get dumped and want to know how not to respond.
